Large Explosion Rips Through Central Bangkok

An large explosion has ripped through central Bangkok.

Details are sparse thus far but early indications suggest multiple casualties. As AP reports, "a reporter at the scene said he saw one body and body parts, and two people taken into ambulances. The explosion took place at the Rajprasong intersection, which was the center of many contentious political demonstrations in recent years. It appeared to have occurred in front of the Erawan Shrine, a tourist landmark also popular with Thais."
